Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
| Although moderate Irregularities have been
| shown on cotton futures during the day, the
general tendency was upward and the strength
OF the position proved the dominant feature.
| With the exception of a somewhat better turn
in cable advices from Liverpool, the features re-
garding supply and demand remained much the
same as for day or two but some exhaust for
| Offering, to which attention has before been
called, continues in a marked degree. Large
local operators are free buyers, and there was
considerable increase of outside demand, IN
Guiding a good proportion of Southern orders.
The gain for the day reached 13015 points,
closing at about the highest figures and pretty

CHICAGO, Oct. 19-Markets on Change to-day
had little to break the monotony which has
marked them of late. The provision furry of
yesterday, caused by the arrival Of $4,000
porlxerS at the stock yards, was off to-day, as
about Is, 900 less by several thousand than was
estimated were to arrive for The day. The grain
markets started firm, and it improved prices for
wheat and corn. Cables were steady and I'M
changed, and the amount of wheat and corn on
the ocean passage showed decided decrease.
Clearances again small as to be dis
couraging Speculative trading i'll wheat was
again light most of the session, but firm feel
ing appeared to exist, which later developed,
and prices took upward course. No special
reason was given for strength, excepting that
offerings were light and shorts covering. Some
outside orders were also received, and there was
more doing in thirty minutes just before the
close than during the balance of the session. Re
| ceiptS continue about is luIge as heretofore and
shipments light excepting from Duluth, where
shipments were reported at 2bl 900 bushels. The
market opened a shade firmer than yesterdays
closing and advanced 3501sc, closing 9Sc higher
| than yesterday. Corn was only moderately
active and fluctuations were limited. The feel
ing was frmer. mainly due to free buying OF
more deferred deliveries by prominent local
operators. The market opened shade higher,
advanced 4@ssc, ruled quiet, and closed 3s01sc
higher than yesterday The demand for the
better grades was fair, with offerings somewhat
freer, vessel room being scarce, and lake freigbts
firm having a tendency to increase offerings,
! especially for seller the month. Toward the
close the market ruled firfner, in sympathy
with the advance in what. Oats was $sc lower
for October, shorts having evidently covered
most of the outstanding contracts, and there
was less demand. This decline caused November
to rule easier and decline DC but further than
this there was no essential change, May being,
if anything shade easier. Later there
general recovery, resulting in some advance FOR
deferred futures. A moderate speculative busi-
ness was done, but cash business was loft TO the
sample market Provisions dsappoint-
ingly slow. Yesterday activity led TO the gen
eral belief that the duh period mad terminated,
and that from this time forward fairly active
market at least, might be expected Hence the
business to day, after II briet squirt in the morn
ing fell ba k into its old slow rut Traders
promptly changed their tactics and a hesitatiDg
| feellng assumed control. Tie product, how
ever was quite strongly held, and as compared
with last nights closing, January pork was ad-
vanced &c, and November and December lard,
